Antenor Kore, Marble statue at Acropolis of Athens, Greece

The Antenor Kore statue stands 215 centimeters tall, featuring intricate marble work with detailed hair arrangements and traditional Greek clothing elements.

Excavation teams discovered the statue in multiple parts between 1882 and 1886, with the lower section found east of the Parthenon and upper portion near the Erechtheion.

The statue represents a female figure wearing a chiton and himation, exemplifying the artistic conventions of Late Archaic Greek sculpture from 530-520 BCE.

Visitors can examine this ancient marble masterwork at the Acropolis Museum, where it maintains its position among other significant Greek sculptures.

An inscription on the base reveals the statue was commissioned by a potter named Nearchos and created by sculptor Antenor, son of Eumares.
